"For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the beatitudes. But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the beatitudes, be posted anywhere."

- Kurt Vonnegut

You better pick the hills you're willing to die on.

The Ten Commandments in courthouses is not a battle even worth fighting.

There's so much more pressing things in the social justice arena to deal with!
